In select areas, Starlink offers new customers the option to purchase a $0 Starlink Kit with a 12-Month Residential service plan commitment. The customer has a 30-day trial with a full refund period. After the 30 day trial, the service commitment ends 12 months after the customer's activation date.
During the service commitment, taking any of the following actions will result in a Change Fee:
- Change service address
- Cancel service
- Fail to timely pay your bill
- Attempt to transfer your kit to another user
- Cancel service during the 30-day trial and not return your kit
- The Change Fee is reduced on a monthly, pro-rated basis over the 12-month period. The current fee is $549.
The select areas will most likely be Regional Areas only and also areas that are not congested. Areas are not 100% known and may vary from state to state.
This is more suited for homes and businesses at fixed locations. Doesn't apply to Mini and/or Roaming.
Speed Tests of Standard Kit can be found here including Latency - This is on a Residential Plan (not Residential Lite).
@dealhunter52:
The US mid-terms are coming in less than two years, the "current administration" (Republicans) will be out of power if they lose three of their 220 seats. Last time DT was president, the midterms gave the Democrats 41 House of Representatives seats, you do the maths. And DT is even more unpopular this time than at the equivalent time during his previous term.
The US has a 1.1 trillion (US) dollar deficit. That's 1.75 trillion AUD, just over 100 times larger than the Australian deficit with them. So from the US point of view, we really are a mosquito. And the US has a national debt of 36 trillion USD which they want to reduce, so on that scale we're not even 0.1%.
Famous quote: "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." DT wants the fight, you'd be giving him what he wants. And he can cause us far more pain than we can cause him, so your recommended path is self-destructive.
